Cohan & Harris." The public want to be amused rather than instructed is the way they figure the situation, and the present season would seem to bear : ut this ^assertion. Take the hits of the New York tage during the past season. 90 per cent of them were musical farces, comedy dramas, straight farces or musical plays, all constructed with the one idea, to dilate Daughter. And this is the main theme around which Cohan & Harris are constmct ing their campaign of 1913-1914 laughter. "If you have a play that has good comedy lines and situation, they say to would-be authors, "let us read it.” If it contains bright lines, if it has speed and action, if it is clean. In short, if it has a punch we will produce it for you. In ‘‘Stop Thief,” which Cohan & Harris will present at the Eugene Theatre for one performance on Tuesday November 18th, is found a farce that contains all these desirable attributes. It was written by Car lyle Mo-ore. an thither heretofore un known) to fanne as a pljaywrigh-t. That, however, need not count against Mr. Mnbre. A man need not be the author of a long string if hite to lie able to produce one more. Its the first that counts. After that lie may add to Ills string as fast as is able to turn thelim out. Get them produced too. if he first writes one success. COMMON LAW In many instances works of fic tion lost their import when adapted for stage presentations.

Well I should say—Christmas goods are just pour ing in upon us by every freight and express. Here’s a Hunch—the Christmas Store of Eugene will be the M. & O. Store, at the corner of 8th and Willamette. It will be as lively as a University campus'the evening before a big game—and as busy as an O. A. C. man geeting out of town after painting our “O” an orange and black. Why? Because this is the Store of Practical Presents. Young women will find here an easy solution of the gift problem for men. For instance— House Jackets, a never equalled line at $3.50 to $25 Bath Robes, all colors, big asortment, $4.50 to $20 and hundreds of other Practical Presents. Watch our ads. THIS IS THE STORE OF PRACTICAL PRESENTS McMorran & Washburne served ayy the salient features of the been enhanced in general interest by the addition of a number ’of deft touches designed especially with the object ,of holding dramatic inte est. “The Common Law,” which will have a hearing upon the stage of the Eugene Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 20, enjoys the further distinction of being a dramatization which, while slightly deviatinng from the con nected story of the book, neverthe less giving in minutest detail the strongest possible essence rtelating to the argument offered in defense of the marriage tie.. At the same ] time there are introduced certain ele ments of melodramatic as well as sensational qualities to further en hance the story of theatrical import. Manager A. H. Woods, in order to give the production commanding at tention, lias been most generous in supplying all necessary scenic ef fects including the stage furniture, and at the same time he has not overlooked the fact that much de pends upon an intelligent interpre tation in this regard has assembled a company of players all of whom may be confidently relied upon to give a good account of themselves. oooooooooooooooooo o o ] o ANNOUNCEMENTS o o Laurean—Meeting tonight at o o 7:15. o o Eutaxian—Regular meeting o o tonight. o o Assembly—Mrs. Abigail Scott o o Duniway will speak at the o a regular assembly tomor- o a row. o a Informal Dance—Sophomore o a Informal dance Friday aft- o a ernoon in the men’s gymna- o a sium. o a Y.
